Julius Peppers on 2017 Panthers: 'This is the best defense I've ever been on'

Julius Peppers made his return to Carolina Sunday, playing his first regular season game for the Panthers since 2009.

He recorded six total tackles, including one for a loss and two sacks in a 9-3 victory over the Buffalo Bills.

It was a total defensive effort from the Panthers, who held the Bills to just 176 total yards and got to quarterback Tyrod Taylor three times. Peppers had some encouraging words for his defense after the game, claiming it’s the best he’s ever played for in his storied career.
